Working Papers
(with Ivan Rudik, Gary Lyn, Ariel Ortiz-Bobea)
Research Question: What are the welfare effects
of general equilibrium adaptation via trade, migration, and capital
accumulation in response to climate change?
Methodological Contributions: (1)
Model-consistent estimating equations to identify climate impacts on
productivity and amenities from temperature shocks; (2) Quantitative
decomposition of general equilibrium adaptation channels (trade,
migration, industry switching, capital accumulation) to shocks in
fundamentals in a dynamic spatial model
Work in Progress
(Job Market Paper)
Research Question: How do cross-city innovation
networks impact spatial inequality and aggregate growth?
Methodological Contribution: Add endogenous,
dynamic, and microfounded innovation to quantitative dynamic spatial
models
(with Zebang Xu)
Research Question: What are the origins of
technological waves?
Methodological Contribution: Add endogenous
innovation to production network models to characterize the dynamic
propagation of productivity shocks via innovation and production
networks
(with Derek Lemoine, Antonia Marcheva, Ivan Rudik)
Research Question: Which regions and industries
should a global planner target to reduce the aggregate and
distributional impacts of climate change?
Methodological Contribution: Characterize
planner problem to reduce impacts of productivity shocks in a global
production network model
